NVSS Scheme Based ATM Authentication Using Fingerprint Matching

The growth in electronic transactions has resulted in a greater demand for fast and accurate user identification and authentication. Access codes for buildings, banks accounts and computer systems often use personal identification numbers (PIN's) for identification and security clearances. Conventional method of identification based on possession of ID cards or exclusive knowledge like a social security number or a password are not all together reliable. An embedded fingerprint biometric authentication scheme for automated teller machine (ATM) banking systems is proposed in this paper. In this scheme, a fingerprint biometric technique is fused with the ATM for person authentication to ameliorate the security level. Here the fingerprint is hidden using NVSS Scheme ie. , natural image based visual secret sharing scheme. In that secret images are transferred through various media to secure the secret and participant. The proposed scheme can share one digital secret image over n- 1 arbitrary selected natural images and one noise-like share.
